The Adventures of a 40-something-year-old With No Clue Or Direction
It's that time of year again! Your social media feeds get filled with back-to-school pics, traffic gets busier, and everyone's schedules get complicated. We're totally in the mix of it all. This morning Aria and I were actually ready early. Traffic was light. Drop-off was almost too easy. Yup, my kiddo is ready to rock... Continue Reading →
Last week right about this time I was in a state of numbness. I had just wrapped up another semester of grad school. One of my cousins had just passed away. My work has been in a constant shift of uncertainty lately. But through it all, I was still looking forward to seeing another of... Continue Reading →
Sorry! I've been absent for 2 months from around here! Totally not intentional. The Alexanders have way too much going on lately. Lots of things are not going well at our house. It seems like when one thing finally goes right, ten other things go wrong. We're not backing down, but it just sucks. Taking... Continue Reading →
Yall, my child is just so smart beyond me. A few weeks ago, I ordered some new stickers. They are of a little character I created named Estrellita StarR. Well, for these stickers Estrellita is dressed in support of her LGBTQ+ friends. As I was opening the package, Aria was curious to see what I... Continue Reading →

The last couple of months of 2024 were a challenge for me on the personal front. I was hit hard. So much that it forced me to take some extreme action - I took my tail back to counseling.

Once upon a time, this one dude I happened to cross paths with in life told me, “Vas a terminar sola porque eres muy rebelde.” Of course there’s more context to the story, but in that moment I just answered, “I don’t care.” And I meant it. You see, somewhere along the line I reached... Continue Reading →
At this year’s Adobe MAX, they offered professional certification testing for some of their applications. During the very first class I took, the instructor repeatedly encouraged us to take at least one exam. Even if we didn’t pass, at least we’d have an idea of what the test is like. The next day I decided... Continue Reading →
Yesterday was Miss Aria's 10th Birthday! While we got to celebrate her with a fun party, my baby girl has not been feeling well. Turns out she has a little pneumonia. It breaks my heart to see her not feeling well, but she is on the mend. Anyways, I couldn't go without mentioning this important... Continue Reading →
Mr. Alexander is currently injured. A few weeks ago he sprained an ankle. Since he’s out of commission, his yard work has been put on hold. So this morning Aria and I got up early to help him out. I mowed and Aria helped rake, while Vince supervised. When we went out to the alley... Continue Reading →
